• Assessment information

can often become the starting point for deeper property research.

Shelby County Property Search by Address

One of the strongest local research resources for a Memphis deed is the:

Shelby County Assessor Real Property Search

The current search system allows users to find real property using:

Street Address

Owner Name

Business Name

Parcel Number

This is particularly useful when a customer only knows:

“The property is at this address in Memphis.”

You do not necessarily need to know the parcel number before contacting us.

Available public records may allow us to begin with the address and build the property research from there.

Shelby County Assessor of Property

The Shelby County Assessor’s role includes locating, identifying, and appraising real and personal property in Shelby County.

The county provides online access to:

• Property appraisal records

• Real-property searches

• Neighborhood sales

• Business property records

• Related assessment information

For professional deed preparation, assessor records can provide a useful starting point for identifying and cross-referencing the property.

Search Memphis Property by Address, Owner, or Parcel Number

Shelby County provides a dedicated:

Parcel Identification Map

The current system allows a user to:

• Search by address

• Search by Parcel ID

• Search by owner name

• Select a parcel on the map

• View parcel details

• Switch between map layers and basemaps

This is useful when the property owner does not know the parcel number or wants to confirm which parcel corresponds to the street address.

Shelby County GIS / ReGIS

Shelby County operates a dedicated:

Regional Geographic Information System — ReGIS

The county describes ReGIS as the repository and clearinghouse for digital spatial information across local government.

GIS research may help with:

• Parcel identification

• Property location

• Address verification

• Parcel configuration

• Geographic context

• Cross-referencing public records

Important

GIS information is a research resource.

It is not a boundary survey, title opinion, ownership certification, or title-insurance product.

Shelby County Register of Deeds GIS Search

The Shelby County Register of Deeds offers a particularly useful mapping and research tool.

The county states that users can search any property in Shelby County by:

• Address

• Owner

• Parcel number

The system can provide:

• Aerial views

• Surrounding parcels

• Assessment information

• Sales data

• Deeds

• Shelby County property-tax information

• Municipal tax information where applicable

That creates a strong research workflow for our professional service:

Address → Parcel → Assessor Data → Recorded Deed → Deed Preparation

Don’t Have Your Current Recorded Deed?

You may not need to locate it yourself.

The:

Shelby County Register of Deeds

maintains property records for real estate throughout Shelby County.

The Register currently provides:

• Property Record Search

• GIS Search

• Archives Record Search

• Recorded document access

The office states that many recorded documents can also be viewed and copied online at no charge as a courtesy.

For professional preparation orders, we may attempt to locate available prior deed information as part of our research.

Shelby County Can Search Using the Property Address

The Shelby County Register of Deeds states that when a recorded document is not available directly online, a request for the document may be made using information such as:

• Known buyer or seller names

• Date

• Property address

That reinforces one of the strongest selling points of our $225 service:

You Don’t Necessarily Need the Old Deed Before Calling Us.

Give us the Memphis property address and basic information about the transfer.

We can research available records from there.

Why the Previous Recorded Deed Matters

A new deed should not be prepared by guessing at existing property information.

The prior recorded deed may contain:

• Exact current owner names

• Existing ownership language

• Legal description

• Prior instrument number

• Parcel references

• Lot numbers

• Subdivision information

• Recording information

• Prior conveyance language

For professional preparation orders, we may search available public records in an effort to locate and cross-reference this information.

Your Memphis Street Address Is Not the Legal Description

A street address tells us where a property is physically located.

It generally does not replace the legal description appearing in the recorded property documents.

A legal description may contain:

• Lot numbers

• Block numbers

• Subdivision names

• Plat references

• Metes-and-bounds language

• Acreage descriptions

• Survey references

• Other formal property-description information

For professional preparation orders, we may research:

Shelby County Assessor + Parcel Identification + GIS + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Recorded Deed

in an effort to identify the existing property description.

What Is a Tennessee Quitclaim Deed?

A Tennessee Quitclaim Deed generally transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor possesses in real property without providing the same warranties that may accompany some other forms of deed.

The person transferring the interest is generally called the:

Grantor

The person receiving the interest is generally called the:

Grantee

Because choosing the type of deed can affect important legal rights:

We Cannot Determine Which Deed You Should Use.

If you have already decided that a Quitclaim Deed is the document you want, however, we can prepare the requested document according to your instructions.

Common Memphis Quitclaim Deed Transactions

Customers may request Quitclaim Deed preparation for situations involving:

Family Property Transfers

Property interests may be transferred between:

• Spouses

• Parents and children

• Siblings

• Other relatives

Adding Someone to a Deed

A current property owner may already have decided to convey an interest to another person.

Transfers Between Current Owners

One co-owner may transfer an existing interest to another owner.

Divorce-Related Property Transfers

A deed may be needed to complete an agreed-upon or court-directed property transfer.

Estate-Planning Transactions

A customer may have received instructions from a Tennessee attorney or estate-planning professional concerning a specific property transfer.

Trust, LLC, or Business Transfers

Customers may request deed preparation after independently deciding that property should be transferred to or from a:

• Trust

• LLC

• Corporation

• Other entity

These are examples only.

We do not determine whether a Quitclaim Deed is appropriate for any particular transaction.

Where Are Memphis Tennessee Quitclaim Deeds Recorded?

Memphis is located in:

Shelby County, Tennessee

Deeds affecting Memphis-area real estate are generally recorded through the:

Shelby County Register of Deeds

The current main office is located at:

1075 Mullins Station Road
Building W3, Suite W165
Memphis, TN 38134

The county currently lists the Register of Deeds phone number as:

901-222-8100

How Much Does Shelby County Charge to Record a Quitclaim Deed?

The Shelby County Register of Deeds currently lists Quitclaim Deeds among its:

Most Documents

The current standard recording fee is:

Up to 2 Pages — $12

Each Additional Page — $5

The Register’s FAQ specifically states:

“A Quit Claim typically costs $12 to file.”

That $12 reflects the standard recording component for a typical short quitclaim deed and does not necessarily include applicable state transfer taxes or transaction-specific charges.

Government Charges Are Separate

Our service pricing is:

$9.99 — Editable Tennessee Quitclaim Deed

$225 — Professional Preparation + Property Research

$400 — White Glove Preparation + Research + Execution Assistance

Government recording fees, transfer taxes, copies, eRecording fees, certifications, and other governmental or third-party costs are separate unless expressly included in your individual order.

Shelby County Recording Fee Structure

The current Shelby County filing guidelines break the standard recording charge into:

$10 for the First Two Pages

plus:

$2 Data Processing Fee

for a typical total of:

$12 for Up to Two Pages

Additional pages are currently:

$5 Each

This is why many straightforward Quitclaim Deeds begin with a $12 filing charge before any applicable transfer taxes.

Tennessee Realty Transfer Tax

The Shelby County Register of Deeds is required to collect Tennessee’s state conveyance or transfer tax where applicable.

The county’s current filing guidelines list the conveyance-tax rate as:

$0.37 Per $100

which is equivalent to:

$3.70 Per $1,000

of taxable value or consideration, depending on the transaction and applicable Tennessee tax rules.

Important

The actual tax treatment of a Tennessee Quitclaim Deed depends on the facts of the transaction.

We cannot determine:

• Whether transfer tax applies

• What taxable amount should be used

• Whether an exemption applies

• Which exemption should be claimed

• What consideration should be stated

• Your tax consequences

If you need legal or tax advice concerning Tennessee recordation taxes, consult a licensed Tennessee attorney, CPA, tax professional, or the applicable government agency.

Recording Requirements for Tennessee Documents

Shelby County publishes filing guidelines for documents submitted to the Register of Deeds.

Depending on the instrument, requirements may include items such as:

• Name and address of preparer

• Required signatures

• Complete notarization

• Notary signature

• Notary seal

• Notary expiration information

• Applicable recording information

• Proper fees

Our professionally prepared deeds are formatted with applicable Tennessee and Shelby County recording requirements in mind.

Final acceptance for recording remains subject to review by the Shelby County Register of Deeds.

Memphis Quitclaim Deeds & Notarization

Documents affecting real property generally require properly executed signatures and acknowledgments before recording.

Shelby County’s filing guidelines repeatedly identify complete notarization as a recording requirement for signed real-estate instruments.

That’s one reason we offer the:

$400 White Glove Service

which can include mobile or online notary coordination when legally appropriate and available.

Shelby County eRecording

The Shelby County Register of Deeds currently supports:

E-Filing / Electronic Recording

for qualifying documents.

The county also noted in 2026 that e-file customers could continue filing documents electronically even during a temporary office closure.

Electronic recording is separate from notarization.

Whether a particular deed and execution method qualify for electronic filing depends on applicable requirements.

Shelby County Property-Tax Research

Shelby County’s Trustee maintains an online property-tax lookup.

Users can search tax information using a unique:

Parcel ID Number

Tax information can be useful during deed research for cross-referencing:

• Parcel identity

• Property location

• Tax records

• Ownership-associated information

However, property-tax information does not establish clear title.

Shelby County Fraud Alert Program

The Shelby County Register of Deeds currently offers a:

Fraud Alert Program

for property owners.

This can be a useful post-recording resource for Memphis-area property owners who want additional awareness regarding documents recorded under their name.

Property Research Is Not a Formal Title Search

Our professional preparation services may involve substantial public-record research.

However:

Property Research Is Not a Title Examination

When we research:

Shelby County Assessor Records + Parcel Identification + GIS + Sales Data + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Deeds

we are gathering available information for the purpose of preparing the document requested by the customer.

Our Property Research Does Not:

• Certify ownership

• Guarantee clear title

• Guarantee marketable title

• Certify all liens

• Certify all mortgages

• Determine all encumbrances

• Issue title insurance

• Provide an attorney title opinion

• Determine whether another person has a claim to the property

• Determine whether a lender permits a transfer

• Perform a boundary survey

If you need a formal title search, title insurance, lien certification, or legal opinion concerning property ownership, contact a licensed Tennessee attorney or title company.

Tennessee Property Transfers May Involve Additional Issues

A Quitclaim Deed may not be the only consideration involved in a Tennessee property transfer.

Depending upon the circumstances, there may also be issues involving:

• Tennessee realty transfer tax

• Tax exemptions

• Mortgages

• Due-on-sale clauses

• Estate planning

• Probate

• Trusts

• Divorce

• Creditors

• Capital gains

• Gift taxes

• Medicaid planning

• Business ownership

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning these matters.

If you are uncertain how a property transfer may affect you, consult a licensed Tennessee attorney, CPA, tax professional, title company, or other qualified professional.

Important Non-Attorney Disclaimer

We are a non-attorney document preparation and notary staffing agency. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice, legal representation, title opinions, tax advice, or other legal opinions concerning real-estate transactions.

We cannot tell you what your legal rights or remedies are, whether you should transfer real estate, which type of deed you should use, who should be added to or removed from ownership, how title should be held, what consideration should be stated, whether transfer tax applies, which tax exemption should be used, or what effect a property transfer may have on taxes, mortgages, creditors, divorce, probate, trusts, estate planning, Medicaid, or other legal or financial matters.

Our role is limited to preparing documents according to the customer’s decisions, information, and instructions and coordinating notarial or other execution services when requested.

For professional preparation orders, we may research information using resources such as Shelby County Assessor records, parcel and GIS systems, Shelby County Register of Deeds records, prior recorded deeds, property-tax information, sales history, and other available public-record sources.

Our property research is performed solely for document-preparation purposes. It is not a formal title search, title examination, lien certification, ownership certification, title-insurance service, boundary survey, or attorney opinion regarding title.

Public records, maps, assessment information, parcel information, GIS records, and third-party databases can contain incomplete, outdated, or conflicting information. If available records are insufficient to reliably prepare the requested document, additional documentation or assistance from a Tennessee attorney, title company, or surveyor may be necessary.

Documents are prepared with applicable Tennessee and local recording requirements in mind. Final acceptance for recording remains subject to review by the Shelby County Register of Deeds or other applicable governmental authority.
